THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONTENTION BILL

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION BILL
The Assembly at yesterdays session passed
what is known rs the Arnold bill, providing
for a convention to revise the Constitution Of
the State. At the caucus of the majority men,
bers. held few weeks ago, at the conclusion
of discussion in regard 10 the merits of the
pending convention inca sures. a resolution was
passed in favor of the one which had been
introduced by Mr.. Arnold. This bill has al
ready been printed in THE TRIBUNE. Under
it leo delegates are to DO elected, 12S by
Assembly districts, the rest in such manner
as to give each party 16 delegates -at-largc.
The delegates are to be chosen at the regular
election next November. the Convention is to
meet next January, and the outcome Of the
Convention is to DO submitted to the people
at tho general election Of 1888.
Such in brief, is the substance of the Ar
mold bill. 1t was not the first choice OF all
tho Republican members of tho Legislature.
Some of them preferred the Hustled bill, which
called for the election of delegates this spring.
and which provided for smaller Convention
based on another method of representation.
But the ma jority of the Republicans, after
mature reflection, concluded that the regular
fall election rather than a special spring cleo
ton could be depended upon to bring out O
full vote all around. They also concluded that
the method of representation provided for in
the Arnold bill was. all things considered, the
most judicious that could be adopted. Two
out of the three conventions which havo> al
ready been held to revise the Constitution have
been composed Of delegates elected by AS
scmbly districts.
The objection which has been DANGEROUSLY
urged against the Arnold bill by Democratic
organs, that it calls for partisan convention.
runs against tho sufficient answer that the
Republicans having been charged with the
grave responsibility of providing for Con-
vention, are warranted in discharging that
duty in such a manner as to secure representa-
tive delegates without surrendering the lcgit-
innate Republican position. Certainly, in view
of Governor Hills disgraceful course in regard
TO High License, the Republicans OF tho Leg
islature would be Use to what they owe to
the people If they passed bill which might
enable the Democracy Of which Hill is today
tho leader to vent its rabid partisanship upon
the orgl mic law Of the State.

THE GOVERNOR And Special LEGIS-
LATION

The State has never had Governor with q
worse record on the question of special legisla-
ton than Governor Hill. In his short term he
has approved over 1000 bills which were not
applIcabe to the entire State; and. therefore.
come under his designation of special legisla-
ton, Some OF these bills were signed in def
ance of the protest of local authorities. and
probably the majority of them imposed "un-
equal burdens on the citizens of the State" to
a greater extent than the High License bill
For the Governor to u.ge that as "a fatal OBJ
lection" to q bill is preposterous.
This Is not the first time that he has resorted
to this subterfuge rs an excuse for vetOing q
wise measure to serve personal ends. In 1885
at the request of Boss" Mclaughlin, Of Brook
Ign, he vetoed the bills to make the Register
and Clerk of Kings County salaried officers. At
the same session he approved similar bill to
pay the Clerk of Erie County salary. Both
political parties in Kings County were COM
mitted in favor of those bills. But the Gov
ernor listened to the Boss" and the records
of the special committee now investigating
that county show the scandalOus results that
have followed his veto. lie has by his ap-
nroyal of special acts relating to this city made
a fixed addition of over $500, 900 year to the
city taxes This is exclusive of millions to be
expended for local Improvements. In the ex-
penditure of this money the Governor left no
discretion to the city authorities, as these were
mandatory acts.
Some of these speclnl acts were so OBJ
jectiopable that the Mayor and the de-
partment heads requested the Governor
not to sign them, but lie disregarded
I,a NJ fba In
"a izlng the Stelnart, Collins and other old
Tweed claims was a scandalous use OF Execu-
tive power. These claims had been rejected in
the courts and by the local authorities, and one
of them at least was seventeen years old. But
they were not too bad for Governor Hill to
sign.
The Governor has never had any scruple III
regard to Imposing unequal burdens on eiti-

Orator Grady ought to be interested in a
letter in today's TRIBUNE concerning the
methods odptcd in the "New South to prevent
an honest expression of public opinion at the
polls. In Atlanta it appears that just two polling
ing orator, it appears that just two polling
places are provided for voting popuh ton OF
$4,000. In New-York polling place is pro-
yided for each $50 voters. OF course. there
is no expectation in Atlanta that 5000 votes
can be polled at one booth in twelve hours
This scheme is part of the deliberate methods
adopted in that State to suppress the colored
vote. How successful it has been is shown by
the fact that only about per cent of the total
vote was polled at the last election for repre-
sentatives in Congress. And this is the ew
South.

attempt to deny it on the part of the Executive.
He stands forward today the unabashcd friend
and the servile tool of the liquor interest; the
upholder and defender Of the saloon in pol
tics; the devils advocate Of every deadfall
in the State the champion of the nasty little
gin-mill at the Capitol the agent OF the liquor
associations. Let him have the full credit Of
his record

The liquor question will be before the Legs
lature again to-day in tho shape of Mr.. We'd
ders Tax BILL AS this relates to tho entire
State, the Governor, in case it passes, will
have to conjure up some new excuse for o
veto. But he will prove equal to the occa-
sion, as anything serves him for an excuse
when it comes to question Of protecting
the hquor-dealers.
The public can gain nothing by such COM
petition among fire insun nee companies as
results in the payment of 40 and so per cent
of the receipts in commissions to brokers.
They neither benefit the insured nor the in
surers. The failure of the recent compact to
reduce commissions to reasonable basis has
led to an effort to re-estabsh the old Tariff
Association. 1t will be a good thing for the
insurance companies if it proves success, and
the public is not likely to suffer either.
It is to be hoped that the rejection by the
Assembly, in considering street railroad bill
yesterday, of Mr.. Hamilton's amendment reat-
ing to the use of centre-bearing rails, does
not foreshadow the defeat of all legislation on
this subject. The Mayor and the city author
tiles have urged the passage of bill to pro-
hibit the use of such rail, and they unques-
tonably represent public sentiment on the
matter The centre-bcaring rail is prescribed in
other large cities, and it ought to be here.
The enormously high telephone rates charged
in this and other cities Of the State make the
question of regulating charges by legislation
one of importa nee. The last annual report OF
The Bell Company shows receipts Of So, ,96o'
on "expenses of operation" amounting to
Of <ho from
rentals. and this showing only demonstrates
what everybody knows, that the rates are out
r. geously high. Under the circumstances the
apparent reluctance of some members of tho
Legislature to consider the subject looks
peculiar.
The Goyernor-General of Canada has ordered
tho work of evicting his rack-rented tenants in
Ireland to be resumed next week but he is not
going to escape the responsibility for this
course by shutting himself up in the Executive
Mansion at Ottawa Mr.. OBrien is coming
over from Dublin to give the Canadians some
information on the subject As the Governor
General Is in receipt Of an enormous salary for
doing practically nothing in Canada, he might
well afford to be decently lenient with his Irish
tenants. But that is apparently too much to
expect from sd Irish landlord.
The Senate Committee which has been in.
vestgating tho differentiation question has
reached some sensible conclusions. Among
other things, according to Senator Beck, it will
recommend tho abolition Of merchant ap-
praisers, and win seek to make the Consular
service an aid instead of hindrance to the
Customs service This can never be done,
L.
removed to make places for political supporters
of the Administration. And Senator Beck has
never shown willingness to take these places
out Of politics. As for the merchant appraiser
system that stands condemned by its own
record. The Senate Committee has closely
Dtudied tho question. and its recommenda tions

Biscuits Among the sa,nres.

Capt. Lista, the latest explorer of Terra
del Feugo, has, in the interests of science,
been applying the biscuit test to some Of
then natives there. 1t is known that few
savages, unless they have long been ac-
quainted with the whites, can eat the
biscuit Of civilization without unpleasant
qualms. When Darwin was in Terra del
Fuego the natives he met ate his biscuits
with avidity, but white men were not
strangers to them, and three or four of
them had even been in Europe. Capt.
Lista and his biscuits were novelties
where he happened to land. The captain
was at first a target for arrows, but the
natives finally voted him a good fellow
and accepted his biscuits.
They could not digest them, however,
and as the considerate creatures disliked
to hurt the white mans feelings, they
threw the biscuit into the grass when
they thought he was not looking.
If DR.. Kane's Eskimos had relished
salt pork as little as they liked hard
bread, they would have let his caches
alone and established a fine reputation
for honesty. When DIR. Chalmers a
while ago gave. some biscuits to New
Guinea natives, he was informed that
they were not good to eat, but would be
carefully treasured as keepsakes. They
could eat almost anything, but they drew
the line at biscuits.-New York Sun.
